      <h1><a href="index-2.html#NTFS" tppabs="http://www.via.ecp.fr/~regis/ntfs/new/index.html#NTFS">NTFS</a> Documentation: Data <a href="attribute.html" tppabs="http://www.via.ecp.fr/~regis/ntfs/new/attribute.html">Attribute</a></h1>

      <h2>Interest</h2>
      The usual content of a <a href="glossary.html#File" tppabs="http://www.via.ecp.fr/~regis/ntfs/new/glossary.html#File">file</a>.
      <p>

      By default, a <a href="dir.html" tppabs="http://www.via.ecp.fr/~regis/ntfs/new/dir.html">directory</a> has no data attribute, and the data attribute of a <a href="glossary.html#File" tppabs="http://www.via.ecp.fr/~regis/ntfs/new/glossary.html#File">file</a> which is <i>not</i> a <a href="dir.html" tppabs="http://www.via.ecp.fr/~regis/ntfs/new/dir.html">directory</a> has no <a href="attribute.html#name" tppabs="http://www.via.ecp.fr/~regis/ntfs/new/attribute.html#name">name</a>.
      <p>

      <a href="index-2.html#NTFS" tppabs="http://www.via.ecp.fr/~regis/ntfs/new/index.html#NTFS">NTFS</a> has an advantage: as you can have several data attributes for a <a href="glossary.html#File" tppabs="http://www.via.ecp.fr/~regis/ntfs/new/glossary.html#File">file</a>, you can easily implement <a href="glossary.html#HFS" tppabs="http://www.via.ecp.fr/~regis/ntfs/new/glossary.html#HFS">HFS</a> whose <a href="glossary.html#File" tppabs="http://www.via.ecp.fr/~regis/ntfs/new/glossary.html#File">file</a>s are made of two parts (also called <a name="Fork">fork</a>s in the <a href="glossary.html#HFS" tppabs="http://www.via.ecp.fr/~regis/ntfs/new/glossary.html#HFS">HFS</a> terminology): a resource part and a data part. For the data part, you use default unnamed data attribute, and for the resource part, you use a data attribute named e.g. 'resource'.
